What Is a Privacy Score?
A Digital Privacy Score is a comprehensive measurement of your online privacy posture, expressed as a number from 0 to 100. It evaluates how much identifying information your device, browser, and network connection reveal to websites, advertisers, and potential attackers when you browse the internet.
Every time you visit a website, your browser shares a surprising amount of data: your IP address reveals your approximate location and internet provider, WebRTC connections can leak your real IP even behind a VPN, DNS requests show which sites you visit, and your browser's unique combination of fonts, plugins, screen resolution, and rendering capabilities creates a "fingerprint" that can track you across the web without cookies.
How We Calculate Your Score
Our privacy score evaluates six distinct categories, each weighted according to its impact on your overall privacy. IP Exposure (20 points) checks whether your real IP address is visible or masked behind a VPN. WebRTC Leaks (20 points) tests whether browser WebRTC connections expose your real IP address even when using a VPN. DNS Leaks (15 points) verifies that your DNS requests are routed through your VPN provider rather than your ISP. IPv6 Leaks (10 points) checks whether IPv6 traffic bypasses your VPN tunnel. Browser Fingerprint (20 points) measures the uniqueness of your browser using canvas rendering, WebGL parameters, audio processing, and installed fonts. Tracking Signals (15 points) evaluates your browser's Do Not Track setting, cookie policy, and user agent string.
Why Privacy Matters Online
Online privacy is not just about having "nothing to hide." Your browsing data is collected and sold by data brokers, used to build detailed profiles for targeted advertising, and can be exploited in phishing attacks. A leaked IP address can reveal your physical location to within a few miles. Browser fingerprinting allows trackers to follow you across websites without any cookies, making it nearly impossible to browse anonymously without taking active steps to protect yourself.
Research from the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) found that 83.6% of browsers have a unique fingerprint, meaning most users can be individually identified just by their browser configuration. Meanwhile, only about 15-20% of internet users worldwide use a VPN, leaving the vast majority fully exposed. By understanding your privacy score and taking the recommended steps to improve it, you significantly reduce your digital footprint and make it much harder for third parties to track, profile, or target you online.
The average internet user without any privacy tools scores around 25-35 out of 100 on our test. Using a reputable VPN can immediately boost your score by 25-35 points by masking your IP, preventing DNS leaks, and blocking WebRTC exposure. Combined with a privacy-focused browser like Firefox or Brave and the right settings, most users can achieve scores above 70, putting them in the top tier of online privacy.
Frequently Asked Questions
A Digital Privacy Score is a 0-100 rating that measures how exposed your online identity is. It tests six categories: IP exposure, WebRTC leaks, DNS leaks, IPv6 leaks, browser fingerprint uniqueness, and tracking signals. A higher score means better privacy protection.
Your score is calculated by running six tests: IP/VPN detection (20 points), WebRTC leak test (20 points), DNS leak test (15 points), IPv6 leak test (10 points), browser fingerprint entropy (20 points), and tracking signal analysis (15 points). Each test awards points based on how well-protected you are in that category.
A score of 76-100 is considered well-protected. Scores of 56-75 are fair, 31-55 indicate moderate risk, and 0-30 mean high risk. The average user without a VPN scores around 25-35, while VPN users typically score 55-70.
The most impactful steps are: using a VPN (can add 25-35 points), disabling WebRTC in your browser (15-20 points), using a privacy-focused browser like Firefox or Brave (10-15 points), enabling Do Not Track (5 points), and blocking third-party cookies (5 points).
No. All tests run entirely in your browser. We do not store, log, or transmit any of your test results, IP addresses, or fingerprint data. The only external request is to our IP detection API, which does not log queries.
